Kim & Craig in DC








I shot these literally 2 days ago at Kim & Craig's wedding in DC. These were shot on my Polaroid 600SE on FUJI FP-3000B. This was all hand held and some of it as low as 1/8th of a second. TACK SHARP. It is not a perfect process as it is instant film and there are developing specks on a lot of the images randomly from the rollers but there is something to be said about this film. The shot of the first dance, monuments and waiters were shot at 1/30th of a second @ f/4.7. The leaving shot, sitting shot and carriage driver shots were at 1/8th of a second hand held as well. Not to get too geeky on my readers or anything with all of the technicalities but, this will now be a new fixture at all of my weddings/events/shoots. I shot a little over 300 sheets when I was in Birmingham earlier this week. Blog post surely to follow. Thanks for reading!!!

These are fantastic! Wow! Very nice! Great exposures! How did you meter?

Did you keep any of the negatives? They tend to hold a lot more shadow and highlight detail so long as they haven't been too damaged.

Can't wait to see more... :D

Tack sharp at 1/8th of a second?... How is that even physically possible, regardless of how good the film is?
